CHEWING GUM.
Men, as Well as Women, Use it in Large
Quantities in Brooklyn.

Men, as Well as Women, Use 1T in Large
Quantities in Brooklyn.
i asked the cashier question, says
writer in the Brooklyn Citizen. He sat in
receipt of tribute at the desk of bustling,
crowded restaurant not many miles from
the City Hall, which is patronized by the
active business men of one of the live
Hest regions of the metropolis. A
woman is hardly ever seen at its tables,
and boy very rarely. In other words,
Its customers are almost exclusively male
adults. Distributed around the cashiers
desk, vying with the cigars in the solicit
tation of patronage, saw piles of boxes
of chewing gum of various brands, hand
somely labeled My question was:
"Who buys the chewing gum"
"Our customers"
sfDo you mean that men buy such
thing?"
"Certainly; lots of them. We used to
sell box day, but the demand is fall
ding off a little lately"
AWhat under the canopy do grown
men want with such childish article ?"
Well, good many buy it as substi-
tute for tobacco 1t helps them to break
off the habit of chewing the weed. Others
uSeu IL as preSerNatlVe VI lHe teetn anu
some think it is an aid to digestion"
His reply surprised me. A box of gum,
as saw by inspection of the label, con-
tains 1875 sticks neatly wrapped in satin
stamped tin-foil. Here was evidence
that over hundred men in one part of
the city were given to the daily use of the
article Each stick is divided into five
cakes, like chocolate bar, and each cake
is intended for one "chew" The
restaurant, while well patronized, is
by no means a large one. If the chew
ing gum is sold in anything like the
same proportions elsewhere through
out the city, there must be thousands
of men of sober age and sedate character
who are wagging their jaws daily like
so many school children. l am told that
there are probably twenty varieties of
chewing gum in the market, such is the
demand for it. The old-fashioned 'Black
Jack" is used by youngsters, but the
fancy brands with such poetical titles as
spot Pourri," Consolation" Hearts
ease" and the like are affected by adults
of both sexes. The mania looks like a
step backward toward our ancestral
ruminant prototypes.

WILD ANIMALS IN BENGAL.
The Enormous Loss of Life Caused by Their
Ravages and Deaths from Snake Bites. |.

The Enormous Loss OF Life Caused by Ihelr
Ravages and Deaths from Snake Bites.
The total number of persons killed by wild
animals and venomous snakes in the ten di-
visions of Bengal during the official year
1886 was the highest in the last five years,
and amounted to II 1923. AS is usual, nine
tenths of these deaths were caused by snakes.
But of r. 223 buffaloes, oxen, horses and po-
MES destroyedin this manner, only 311 were
killed by snakes. These annual returns do
not take account of sheep, goats, pigs and
monkeys the destruction of which is very
large. The hyena is credited with the, de-
struction of 773 head of cattle In Bhagulpore
the number of wolves killed fell to SO from
337 in the year before, and the reason given
was that shikari had been punished for an
attempt to pass off jackals' heads for the
heads of wolves. Passing over the most
formidable wild animals, it appears that 54S
persons were killed by jackals, 221 by croco-
diles or alligators, "a by pigs and % by ele-
phants-whether wild or domestic is not
stated-12 by buffaloes and oxen, one by
horse, one by deer, and two by muskrats,
the bite of the latter having brought on NOR
LITIGATION or tetanus. Only Is deaths were
put down to mad dogs, which is regarded as a
manifest understatement. Not single death
was caused by wild animals in the town and
suburbs of Calcutta, but ID persons died from
snake-bite. Thetotal amount of %, SS4rupees
was paid for the destruction of wild animals
and venomous snakes, as compared with
AZ, 374 rupees in the preceding year.-London

This happened last winter, and the lady
thought politeness required her to inform the
Emperor of the day of her wedding with Herr
Kilian, a merchant of Iglau. The conse-
quence was that on Saturday morning there
arrived large parcel from Berlin containing
a bracelet richly set with diamonds, jewel
box adorned with the imperial crown, &C
companied by a letter from the first court
chamberlain saying that the Emperor him
self chose this present, and that he desired
the bride to wear the bracelet at the cere-
mony. This was only accomplished
with some difficulty, as the custom
until it had received the Austrian hail mark.
High personages had to interfere to enable
Fraulein Kern to wear the Emperor present
during the ceremony, which took place in
the Jewish synagogue at Iglau.

A DRUNKEN PARSON.
A Curious Case That Came up in an Eng
lish Police Court.

IOliCc SOuTts
A case was heard at the Chester county
Police Court, when the Rev. Henry Rudge
curate of Plemstall, near Chester, was
charged with being drunk. Defendant, who
did not appear, was represented by Mr..
Brassey solicitor, and the police, who prose-
cuted, by Mr.. Cartwright, solicitor. Police
constable Clarke said that on Thursday,
April IA, he saw defendant staggering along
the footpath at Hoole There was ditch
alongside the pathway, into which the
reverend gentleman fell. Witness assisted
him out, and accused him of being drunk.
Defendant said he was only tired, and re-
quested to be loosed. Witness let him go,
and he again fell into the ditch. He then
asked defendant for his name, and he re-
piled, "Snooks.' Witness said, "What is
your Christian name?" and the reverend
gentleman said, 81 shall not tell you" Wit
ness then called soldier and postman and
lifted him out, put him in conveyance, and
sent him home. Mr.. Brassey pleaded
Guilty" on behalf of the reverend gentle
man, and expressed regret for the occurrence.
The bench inflicted fine of IS. and costs,
amounting in all to e2 19s.-Reynolds Ne'cs-

PENALTIES OF CELEBRITY.

in His Work.
Our public personages are threatened
with new penalty-the extreme celeb
|rity. 1t is stated that photographs have
been taken of the President of the United
States and Mrs. Cleveland on Sundays
while they sit in their pew at church, by
artists who, armed with
|"detective" cameras, locate themselves
I'm the gallery. If this practice be
universally adopted our celebrities will
be afraid to go to church, because 1t is
|obvious from the enforced stiffness which
|one is expected to observe in place of
worship that photographer has good
chance of securing a likeness, even when
the light is bad. 1t is, we are afraid, not
possible, even with the most sensitive
pilates, to secure portraits of the preacher
while pouring forth his impassioned
|eloquence. This is a pity, from a
commercial point of view. Portraits of
'Spurgeon, DR.. Parker, Canon Farrar,
and other popular men, taken while in
fhe pulpit, would have an enormous sale.

posite the town of Del
Norte, Col. For fifty miles up the valley
above the swamp great numbers of
streams dash down the gulches from the
mountains of the Sangre de Christie range.
These streams gradually lose themselves
in the sandy soil of the level plain until
they disappear entirely, and the vast
amount of water from the snow-crowned
SUBMITS of the ranges rises to the surface
again in this Vega, which in turn dis
charges it's surplus into the Rio Grande
river some sixty miles below Del Norte.
During the spring and early fall this
great tract of swamp land is literally
covered with water fowl of every kind.
There are large white swan, the staple
old "honker' or Canada goose, the white
brant or snow goose, the canvas-back
duck, mallards, gadwall, pintail, spoon
bill, pochards scaup-duck, wood-duck,
butter-ball and five or six kinds of
teal, including the reddish brown
with blue wing of South America, which
follows the mountain ranges on Its way
to the north. The Wilson snipe, jack
snipe and English yellow leg are abund-
ant, with good many plover and curlew.

Gastein some six years ago. Every day dur
ing that visit the Emperor, sitting at the
window of his hotel, noticed the young lady
in question, who is the daughter of cloth
manufacturer, at the window of the opposite
hotel. Soft happened that when one day the
familiar face was missing the monarch sent
an adjutant to inquire the cause. Thus the
little romance began, and the aged Emperor
was a clever, well-educated and lively girl,
but not beauty in the ordinary sense. The
Emperor addressed her whenever they met
on his walks, and from year to year he
pressed for her promise to come again the
following season. The monarch further OBJ
tanned promise from her that if she should
become betrothed she would let him know.

Near the little town of Kouts,
Ind, on the 18th inst, an East bound
passenger train, which left Chicago
the evening before heavily loaded
with passengers, was run into, tele-
scoped and burnt on the track of the
Chicago and Atlanta railroad, near a
lonely old water tank, and was
burned by an express freight (meat)
train overtaking II from behind.
Thirty lives were lost, and half of

some fatally, injured. Many We're
burned to a crisp, many horribly
mangled, and nearly every passen-
ger on the train except those on the
sleeping car were injured more or less.
The freight was just behind the pas
senger train and the latter was run
ming with twOwheels disabled and de-
tached, and stopped at the water
tank, when, owing it is said, to a
failure TO make the proper signals,
the freight ran into the passenger
